"Hey!!!" Inuyasha shouted to the blue haired girl.

The young girl snapped her head toward him. She opened her mouth to ask what his problem was. But the sight of a gorgeous woman stopped her from doing so. Her eyes beamed as she skipped over her way. She bowed down, "It's a pleasure!!!!!"

Kikyo took a half step back, "N-no, you don't have to bow." She pulled the girl up. "Your name?"

"My name?" The girl looked up.

"Yes, your name-" Kikyo said.

Then there was a loud WHACK sound with an 'ow' following soon after.

"What were you doing to Kagome?!" Inuyasha shouted.

The girl angrily glared back at him, " I didn't do shit!!!"

Kagome grasped the burned part of her skirt. An annoyed expression lay flat on her face, her lips curled back behind her teeth as she lay her eyes on the blue haired girl.

"Relax, she didn't hurt the girl," Kikyo stated as she looked at Kagome 'perfectly' neat appearance. "Her skirt is the only substance that got damaged."

The girl blinked, she then smiled at Kikyo. She squealed, "I knew you would be so reasonable!!!" She hugged her, "My name's Megami."

Ryuu and Inuyasha rolled their eyes.

Kagome practiced on her breathing, trying to hold back from choking the zealous girl. She flicked the dirt on her skirt and with a huff she said, "I'm going home." To her surprise, Inuyasha didn't say anything, much less even bother to look at her. He was too busy prying Megami off of Kikyo.

Kagome wistfully turned away from the group and proceeded walking to the well. A glum expression slipped onto the young fox demon's face as he saw his mother figure leave.

The true miko let a small smile slip, for the first time in a long time did she truly felt loved.


Kagome slipped her fingers through her damp hair, in hopes of getting it untangled. She had left her comb back in the Feudal era. She let out an exasperated sigh as layed back on to her comfy bed. Oh how she missed it. She had just finished taking a hot warm bath.

Buyo jumped on Kagome's bed and purred against her shoulder. "How've ya been, Buyo?"

"Mao"

Kagome giggled a little, she put Buyo down. Her eyes returned to its blue expression. A lump arose in her throat. "Jerk," she whispered beneath her breath. She hoped Inuyasha would jump through the window and demand her to come back, but she knew it wouldn't happen, not this time.

Kagome adjusted herself to a comfortable position on her bed and closed her eyes, listening to Buyo's loud purring.


Kikyo felt a little more at ease with Kagome gone. She felt very uncomfortable under the stare of those sad, bitter eyes of hers. The demon slayer and the small fox demon still haven't accepted her.

"I love you!!!!!!!!!" Megami's squeal interrupted Kikyo's thoughts. She hasn't been able to free herself from Megami's sight. She tried to kiss her earlier, you can't imagine how that freaked her out much less Inuyasha and Ryuu. Miroku's hopes of having her bear his child were soon crushed. Luckily, Kikyo ducked away in time. Both Inuyasha and Ryuu threatened her. She merely scoffed at their 'attempted' threats. It didn't at all keep her from trying to lure Kikyo to something the miko didn't want to get into.

"Shut the hell up!!!!" Inuyasha covered his ears.

"You shut up!!!! If you kept that trap shut, you'd actually be considered cute! I wouldn't mind having a threesome with you and Kikyo!!!" Megami retorted.

Inuyasha gagged.

Ryuu laughed silently at Inuyasha's expression.

"Threesome?" Kikyo asked. "What does that mean?"

Inuyasha turned beet red. "D-Don't listen to her!!!! It'll just encourage her!!!"

Ryuu held his stomach and kicked his legs as he laughed out loud.

Megami stuck her tongue at him, "Come on, let's take a bath!!!" She eagerly pulled on Kikyo's arm.

"HELL NO!!!!!!!" Both Inuyasha and Ryuu and exclaimed.

Kikyo looked up at the girl, "You can go ahead and take a bath without me, I prefer to take them alone."

"Awwww," Megami whined. She turned to Inuyasha and Ryuu, " You may have won this round, but I promise you it won't keep me from tryin'," She gave Kikyo a grin before she skipped into the forest.

Kikyo stood up and walked to the opposite direction Megami had skipped to. "I'll be back."

"Where are you going?" Inuyasha asked her.

Kikyo flipped her hair over her shoulder, "I'm going to take a bath."

"Bya," the cat demon leaned against a tree.

"Bye." Inuyasha looked ahead

Kikyo left.

"I'll go take a walk," Inuyasha stood up.

"Are you gunna bring Kagome back?!" Shippo jumped up from the ground.

"She'll come back when she wants to," He walked away before Shippo had the chance to reprimand him.

Kikyo slipped into the water, her hair floated around her. She sighed deeply, embracing the warmth of the water. It was good to be human again.

She slipped even deeper into the water, till the water reached above her head. Somehow, she felt safe.

--- behind a rock . . .

Inuyasha's heart thumped at the sight. He couldn't seem to look away, even if he could, he wouldn't had. He had to protect her.

Protect her. He failed the last time, he wasn't going to fail again. He inhaled her scent. No longer did she smell of graveyard soil.

"Inu . . ." Kikyo whispered.

Inuyasha's ears perked up.

Kikyo sighed and sunk into the water once more.

Purr, purr. Inuyasha flinched. He pushed aside the grass beside him. Sure enough, the cat was there. "What the hell are you doing there?!" Inuyasha said in a loud whisper.

"I am here to protect my priestess, what are youuuuu doing here?!" Ryuu replied in the same tone.

"Well, first, I have to protect her, second, she's MINE!"

"Your's?! You wish!!! She'll be mine!!!"

A huge shadow emerged as the two argued, endlessly.


"OWWWWWWWWWWWOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!" They yelled as Kikyo pulled their ears. She stopped when they got near the camp site.

"I hope you've learned your lesson," Kikyo frowned. "Don't speak of this to anyone, especially your Kagome." She turned to Inuyasha.

"What?! There's nothing going on between us!!!" Inuyasha defended himself.

Kikyo didn't respond.

They walked to the camp site together, only to receive dirty looks from Sango and Shippo.

"What where you three doing together?" Sango asked, mainly to Kikyo.

"I caught the two fighting, so I decided to stop it," Kikyo sat down.

"I missed you while you were gone!!!" Megami hugged her tightly , only to be pulled away by Inuyasha and Ryuu.

Sango rolled her eyes and layed back down.
